Parish Church of Saint James, Kaltenleutgeben

Saint James is both Kaltenleutgeben's parish church and the housing place of its Black Madonna. The church's elevated approach, Baroque form, liturgical use, and pilgrimage identity belong on a building page, while the image has its own linked devotional record.

The Archdiocese of Vienna identifies the church as the parish's worship centre and documents its history. Built in the early eighteenth century above the town, it preserves the continuity of an older chapel and a Marian pilgrimage. Separating the building from the object clarifies what a visitor can physically enter and what is venerated inside.

The archdiocesan parish page and Austrian heritage record establish the church identity; the existing object page identifies the Black Madonna it houses.
